June and Nevill Bamber’s wills & Jeremy Bamber’s Motive to Kill the Twins

[Holly Goodhead]

I assume you sent away for copies of the wills, I Spy ??

I help people with family history research, and therefore, I know that wills are public documents, able to be accessed by anybody (for a fee). When I reported this on another forum, people were appalled. Just as a matter of interest, how did you feel about accessing the Bambers' wills? (not condemning you in any way; I have accessed wills for people numerous times!!).

The type face looks similar to case related docs. 

What source does CAL use for the wills?

If I wanted to read them I wouldn't hesitate to access them as they're public records but it isn't really an aspect of the case that interests me.

June Bamber made her last will and testament on 13th June, 1979 and Nevill made his on 3rd August, 1979


They never altered or amended them, and they were the ones that were used for probate.

The twins were born on 22nd June 1979 so June made her will just before they were born and NB shortly after they were born.

I'm interested in the clause NB inserted in his will that prevented JB from inheriting the farm unless he was committed to farming at the time of NBs death.

I've always thought that JB had only knuckled down on the farm around 18 months before the murders which would coincide with JMs account of when he started talking about killing them all.

Which farm are you referring to?

Was there or was there not a clause in NBs will that would have prevented JB from inheriting NBs assets?

Of which White House Farm was not one. The Bambers were tenants.

But they owned the business.

If pathetic pedantry is all you and Holly really have then please do not respond to my comments.

I do wish people would realise that inattention to detail and careless posts can create misunderstandings and myths. Accuracy ensures that people are debating the actual facts rather than inaccurate facts.

G-Unit, forgive the observation, but it appears that you were trying to side step an answer by pointing out a perceived inaccuracy on the part of a poster. I don't imagine I'm the only one here who knows perfectly well that a business owned by one party is entirely separate from the building, owned by another party, which houses it.

So, "was there or was there not a clause in NBs will that would have prevented JB from inheriting NBs assets?"

You may be happy to accept 'the farm' as a description of Nevill Bamber's assets, I'm not. His assets were much more varied than the phrase suggests.

Please don't insult my intelligence, G-Unit. I'm fully aware of the point you're using to cover up that you won't give a straight answer to "Was there or was there not a clause in NB's Will that would have prevented JB from inheriting Nevill's assets". Whether or not you believe his "assets" to be greater than the farm -the business- is of no moment unless there is a codicil providing for him, with other "assets" in the event of him not being considered suitable to take on the farm -the business.

Please don't insult my intelligence April. I'm pretty sure that you know the answer to your question, but even if you don't, it's not my job to answer questions unless I choose to do so.
